From your exact location in Ipakodo Ferry Terminal Area, take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local yellow bus (Danfo) to the Ipakodo Ferry Terminal.
At Ipakodo Ferry Terminal, purchase a ticket for a ferry heading to CMS Terminal or Five Cowries Terminal (Ikoyi). Confirm the destination before boarding.
Upon arrival at CMS or Five Cowries Terminal, exit and look for yellow buses (Danfo) or smaller buses heading towards Falomo or Ikoyi. If at CMS, you might need to walk a short distance to the main bus stop.
Alight at Falomo Bridge or any convenient bus stop along Awolowo Road in Ikoyi. From here, you can take another Keke Napep or a short Danfo ride directly into Parkview Estate, or walk if your destination is close to the main road.
Check the ferry schedule in advance, especially on weekends or public holidays.
Arrive at the ferry terminal at least 15-20 minutes before departure time.
Keep your ferry ticket handy for inspection.
Be aware that ferry services can be affected by weather conditions.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops.
Yes, the ferry option is generally much faster than road travel from Ikorodu to the Island, especially during peak traffic hours, as it bypasses the heavy congestion on Ikorodu Road and bridges.
You pay in cash (Nigerian Naira) directly to the bus conductor or Keke Napep rider. For BRT, you might need a BRT card, which can be purchased and loaded at BRT terminals, or sometimes cash payment is accepted directly on the bus.
If traveling at night (after 7-8 PM), public transport options become less frequent and potentially less safe. It's advisable to use a trusted ride-hailing service (like Bolt or Uber) for the entire journey if possible, or arrange for a private pick-up, especially for the final leg to Parkview Estate. Avoid boarding unfamiliar yellow buses late at night.
For ferries, there are usually limits on oversized luggage. For buses (Danfo/BRT), small to medium-sized bags are generally fine and can be placed on your lap or at your feet. Very large luggage might be problematic or require an extra charge ('attachment').

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) to avoid peak traffic. For the ferry option, travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning or early afternoon) is less crowded.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, it's wise to be vigilant, especially when carrying valuables. 'One-chance' syndicates can operate on some bus routes, so avoid late-night travel in unfamiliar public buses. Always use established bus stops and terminals. Keep your phone and wallet secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available along Ikorodu Road, offering a faster alternative to regular yellow Danfos on dedicated lanes. There is no rail service available for this specific route.
